A command available in the Query submenu if you select a Sound object. The Info window will show the power within a specified time window. If the unit of sound amplitude is Pa (Pascal), the unit of power will be Pa².

Setting

Time range (s)

the time range (t₁, t₂). Values outside this range are ignored. If t₁ is not less than t₂, the entire time domain of the sound is considered.

Mathematical definition

The power is defined as

where x(t) is the amplitude of the sound. For how stereo sounds are handled, see Sound: Get energy....
